Posted by randyo on Mon Apr 9 14:42:22 2018, in response to Re: Subway Oddballs (Not the two legged kind), posted by r17-6599 on Mon Apr 9 08:23:08 2018. There was one either R-12 or R-14 (I’m not sure which) that had vents in the side door windows. The R-10 with the side window vents 3138 also had the bypass button in a slightly different location from the regular SMEEs. For some reason, there were only 9 R-10s painted red and the only reason I can think of for stopping the red paint scheme was that not too far after that, the TA went with the racing stripe scheme which was a superior paint scheme anyhow. Why the TA did not go with the racing stripe scheme on the rest of the fleet, I could never figure out, but on the rest of the fleet, tartar red was used on the cars that did get repainted. Another inconsistency was that while the IRT cars painted red were painted in the interior scheme of the R-36s, the BMT and IND cars repainted were done in the 2 tone blue/grey the way they were delivered. |
